Dec 6

Another day off, Crazy!!! Love it! So woke up around 12 still tired and thinking what we were going to do today. While thinking and relaxing, made some eggs and toast from brunch and watched a Seinfeld episode. A great way to wake up on a Sunday morning in Korea. As we continued to sit on our couch we came up with the idea of just hopping on the train and getting off at a random stop and see whats out there. So after a couple hours playing around on the computer, writing blogs, and posting pics, we left our apartment around 3PM. Headed toward the train station thinking of which stop we wanted to get off at. It is getting a lot colder here, although I hear Atlanta is pretty cold and it is supposed to snow there, weird! We got to the train station and decided to get off at Daegu Grand Park, we had no idea if there was an actual park or the name of the place. Got on the train and headed toward our destination. Six stops later we arrived at our destination and got off the train. Headed toward the exit and with all train stations there is more than one way to go out. Four to be exact. We first Rock, scissor, papered for which side we wanted to be on then for which way to go. Headed up the escalator toward the crisp air. *side note- the escalators are sensored so if no one has been using them for a while they turn off.
Max and I thought they were not working, so I decided to still go up them and he went up the stairs, as I stepped on the escalator it started moving. Pretty funny, and very energy efficient. Got to love the thinking of these people.
Once we got off the escalator we looked around and we were in the middle of no where. We really had no idea where we were going except for a sign that said Daegu Stadium, so we headed towards that. We walked and walked...and walked and finally saw the stadium, but it was still a good 2-3 miles away. So after looking at the scenery and seeing that we were in sort of the slums of Daegu, we turned around and kept heading the opposite direction of the train station hoping that there was another stop somewhere around us. Saw our first cow and small farms, which was pretty neat. Part of the adventure is just wondering around not knowing where you are going to end up. So we kept walking and walking and finally saw another stop so we knew we didnt have to walk all the way back. Stopped at a little shanty place for some food and ate some gumandu, which wasnt fried this time. A great snack. After eating, we headed back to the train and headed home. On our walk back to the apartment, Max wanted to go study Korean at a coffee shop near our apartment and I wanted to go to the gym. We walked toward our apartment and I went up to the gym and he continued to the coffee shop. I get to the gym and realize it was closed, so I chased after Max and we decided to stop and get some grocery's real quick. Accomplished that. He went to the coffee shop and I carried the groceries home and did some crunches and other little exercises. After an hour or so Max came back and then we decided to go get some dinner. Nothing to exciting happened after that.
Another great weekend in Daegu!
